in a blink of an eye, its friday.

its been 5 days i've been with the new class and things hasn't changed much~ i'm still rather alone, when my friend decides to go somewhere else.

well, i could have followed them around, but it would be rather weird as they are communicating in malay, a language that i totally don't understand~

so, class have been really kinda boring, in fact. but the positive thing is that i've been paying a little more attention in class, even though its december, and trying my best to understand every single thingy the lecturer is talking about.

perhaps its just the boredom in class that's causing all these concentration. heh.

i've a great temptation to format my laptop and get rid of all the unwanted programs NP installed in it. its taking up SO much space and after installing SO much more programs, my computer is getting slower!! its so irratating!!

but if i were to format, i would lose a great deal of stuffs unless i bother to backup the files that i need~ heh. and reprogram everything... mAnz!! its a super huge problematic problem!

did followup with 1 of the new friends that came last night and i was shocked to find out something.

she ran away from home.

well, i was really very shocked cause she looks really guai on the outside, but i never expected that she ran away from home. but after listening to her explaination, i realised that its her parents that sort of forced her out of the house.

well, if i wasn't wrong, its abusive parents and they chased her out of the house.

she's ONLY 13 years old, and she's already thinking of working just to support herself. then when she's old enough to rent a place, she would rent a place and live on her own. i was shocked by her thinking and even more shocked that she actually planned her "future" out already~

this kinda sparked me thinking.

parents not bothering about their children even after they disappeared for 1 week!! and worst of all, abusing their kids and forcing them to do stuffs that they don't want to.

i really wonder what did her parents did to her, but there were times when i felt that she had over reacted.

tried to encourage her to call home, at least to tell her parents that she's safe, but she didn't even considered the option. she said that her parents wouldn't even bother about her. i was kinda sad for her, but i just kept insisting that she should at least call home and inform her parents.

i had to hang up cause my class was starting.

after school, i called her friend and checked on her. her friend told me that the police called her house and asked if that girl was in her place. then, they got called down to the NPC and after some questioning, everything was back to normal.

the girl that ran away went home, the girl that housed the ran-away girl is safe.

thank God for grace and protection upon 2 girls... and also thank God for a particular person who gave me an advice that i should have done earlier...
